Well, we finally found a bar in Nisshin. Actually, it’s an Itzakaya which is a place where you sit at a narrow bar and order drinks and food if you feel like it. Very Japanese. :) It occurs to me that I forgot to get a picture of the outside of it. I guess we were just too happy to actually find somewhere to hang out after dark! Not too sure what it’s called but there’s actually several areas inside, each with their own little cook/bartender. Kerry and I went out adventuring and after we arrived we called Josh. He lives in Akaike – the next stop over on the train – and works with us at Nova. He’s from Australia. Needless to say, we drank quite a few beers that evening. And then the adventure began when Kerry and I decided to go to the bathroom…… Most doors are labeled with little guy/girl pictures – not these ones!!! I was VERY happy that I had brought my trusty phrase book (thanks mom!). Incidentally, that’s the ladies room I’m standing in front of. :)
So we had a nice night out on the town. We call it the Raccoon Bar because there’s a big painting of a cartoony raccoon on the front of it. And now for some miscellaneous pictures that I’ve taken over the last week or so….
Did you kill the roach with the fingernail clippers or what? I’m glad you have found more people to hang out with that aren’t just your roommates.
Short IS good – especially if you’re talking about the line in the ladies’ room. I love how the things and events around you are becoming “your own.” Remember: Wherever you go, there you are :-)
Happy Birthday Katie..Will you celebrate it Japanese style!!
